From ELComics 2020 Kickstarter:

Three years ago, we began creating short comics and putting them online. We were lucky enough to have people enjoy our stories. During this time, our comics were read over 20 million times, were shared by hundreds of thousands of people and most surreal of all, are now being taught in US high-schools.

Each of our comics tells a short, unique story: A woman who becomes obsessed with a radio station that only appears in the middle of the night, a man in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, trying to collect all the healthy animals in a modern Noah's ark, and a cranky old man who might just have a time machine in the guest bedroom.

Mother's Day can be hard for those who have lost their mothers, suffered loss of children, or are estranged from family members. We see you. We also understand it is a Hallmark holiday, but we felt this was a great time to discuss motherhood in horror as it has played a big role in the genre as long as it has been around.
